processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;

Abstract: The Office of Migrant

the High School Equivalency Program 

Annual Performance Report in 

compliance with Higher Education Act 

of 1965, as amended, Title IV, Sec. 

418A; 20 U.S.C. 1070d–2 (special 

programs for students whose families

Performance Results Act (GPRA) of 

1993, Section 4 (1115), and the 

Education Department General

recipients of multi-year discretionary

substantial progress has been made 

towards meeting the approved 

objectives of the project. In addition, 

discretionary grantees are required to 

report on their progress toward meeting 

the performance measures established 

for the Department of Education grant 

program. The Office of Migrant 

Education requests an extension 

without change of a currently approved 

collection to continue the use of a 

customized Annual Performance Report 

that goes beyond the Department of 

Education generic form number 524B 

Annual Performance Report to facilitate 

the collection of more standardized and 

comprehensive data to inform GPRA, to 

improve the overall quality of data 

collected, and to increase the quality of

Vote Act to serve as national

elections; to fulfill both the EAC’s and 

the Department of Defense Federal 

Voting Assistance Programs’ 

quantitative State data collection 

requirements under the Uniformed and 

Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act 

(UOCAVA); and meet its National Voter 

Registration Act (NVRA) mandate to 

collect information from states 

concerning the impact of that statute on 

the administration of Federal Elections.

submitted on or before 4 p.m. EST on

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed information collection; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the information collection on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.
